Tonight I needed to create a special birthday card for a very important person, my mom! I knew I wanted to use blue since its her favorite color. As I paged through my How-to Books this pattern popped out. I was able to use lots of new items in this card. I love the buttons!

My dad had an automobile accident in December. There were a couple of days when he needed to borrow my car so he took me to work. Then Randi, a coworker and dear friend, was able to bring me home after work. I made this mini purse as a thank you.

But look at what is inside the purse! Yum!

My friend Stacey and fellow Close To My Heart consultant shared the instructions with me on how to make this darling project. It was taught to her by a Stampin' Up demonstrator. This shows that the paper crafting community rocks!

This past Saturday I spent the day with other consultants creating this beautiful artwork featuring the Stamp of the Month and new items from Close To My Heart's Spring / Summer Idea Book and Catalog. These cards use the new spray pens.

About Me

Hello! My faith, family and friends are most important. I have been a Preschool and Elementary teacher for 20 years. I currently teach grades K - 6 at a private Montessori school. My two favorite hobbies are reading and paper crafting. I'm drawn to clean and simple paper crafting designs. I especially love to make cards, gift items, and gift packaging. I was a Close To My Heart Independent Consultant from 2007 - 2017. In 2012 I joined the Fred She Said Design Team. Each of these opportunities gave me the chance to meet many wonderful and talented people. I'm no longer affiliated with a company and I paper craft for fun using a variety of products.
